Sewer Scope
The most expensive thing under your house is the one nobody has ever looked at.
A sewer scope runs a camera down the accessible sewer line from the property to the municipal connection, recording what is there. It is one of the highest-value assessments available on older Calgary housing stock and one of the least commonly done.
Calgary's inner-city communities are the obvious case. Homes in areas like Elbow Park, Britannia, Altadore, Killarney, Inglewood and Renfrew frequently sit on original clay tile lines with mature boulevard trees planted directly over them. Root intrusion, joint separation, bellies and partial collapse are all common, all invisible, and all expensive — a line replacement under a mature front yard runs well into five figures.
Vacancy makes it easier, not harder. A scope is straightforward on an empty property, and for a house about to be listed, transferred through an estate, or handed to a tenant it answers a question that otherwise surfaces at the worst possible moment.
Performed by a qualified provider with the appropriate equipment. VacantHomes coordinates it, attends for access, and attaches the footage and report to the property record.
Who performs this work
Alberta regulates this work, or it carries risk that belongs with an insured specialist. VacantHomes sources the provider, attends for access, verifies completion and records it against your property — but does not perform the work and does not warrant it.
